Abstract
<i>Mycobacterium avium</i>subsp.<i>hominissuis</i>Infection in 2 Pet Dogs, Germany
Highlights
Whereas members of the M. tuberculosis complex are transmitted by direct host contact, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAIC) species are acquired predominantly from environmental sources, including soil, water, dust, and feed
Even though M. tuberculosis and M. bovis are the common etiologic agents of canine mycobacteriosis, dogs are reported to be relatively resistant to M. avium infection [6,7]
Our report concerns 2 young dogs, a 3-year-old miniature schnauzer and a 1-year-old Yorkshire terrier, that lived in different geographic regions in Germany
Summary
6. Safa A, Bhuyian NA, Nusrin S, Ansaruzzaman M, Alam M, Hamabata T, et al Genetic characteristics of Matlab variants of Vibrio cholerae O1 that are hybrids between classical and El Tor biotypes. To the Editor: The genus Mycobacterium contains various obligate and opportunistic pathogens of animals, which may be transmitted to humans and cause disease in, exhibiting a considerable zoonotic potential [1,2]. During the past few decades, members of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAIC) emerged as pathogens of human diseases, including lymphadenitis in children, pulmonary tuberculosis-like disease, and disseminated infections (occurring predominantly in immunocompromised persons, AIDS patients) [1,2].
